About The Indianapolis REMARKABLE PERFORMANCES, extraordinary prizes and a festival atmosphere characterize the International Violin Competition of Indianapolis (IVCI) as “the ultimate violin contest…” writes the Chicago Tribune. Laureates of The Indianapolis have emerged as outstanding artists in concert halls across the globe.

For 17 days every four years, 40 of the world’s brightest talents come here to perform some of the most beautiful music ever written before enthusiastic audiences in venues throughout the city including the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center, the Howard L. Schrott Center for the Performing Arts and the Hilbert Circle Theatre, where the finalists collaborate with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. Of the prizes awarded, one of the most significant is the four-year loan of a concert instrument from the Competition collection which comprises the 1683 “ex-Gingold” Stradivari violin and several modern instruments. Under the guidance of Thomas J. Beczkiewicz, Founding Director, and the late Josef Gingold, who had served on the juries of every major violin competition in the world, the IVCI became known by the musical and media communities as one of the world’s most compelling competitions. In 1994, the artistic leadership of this Competition passed from Gingold to his most famous pupil, Jaime Laredo, one of the master musicians of our time.

Since 1982, Indianapolis has hosted 11 Competitions. It is a unique showcase for the world’s most gifted young violinists and a demonstration of Hoosier hospitality and American volunteerism.

Regarded as the “Olympics of the Violin,” each Competition generates significant national and international media coverage for the artists and the state. Hundreds of volunteers work tirelessly to make this event possible. Through the performances of its Laureates, the influence of the Competition continues for years afterward in cities of the world far from Indianapolis. These Laureates uphold the tradition of quality and excellence which has made the International Violin Competition of Indianapolis one of the most prestigious music competitions in the world.

The 12th Quadrennial will take place in 2026.

New York Philharmonic String Quartet

Frank Huang, Concertmaster Qianqian Li, Principal Second Violin Cynthia Phelps, Principal Viola Carter Brey, Principal Cello The New York Philharmonic String Quartet comprises four Principal musicians from the Orchestra: Concertmaster Frank Huang (The Charles E. Culpeper Chair); Principal Second Violin Group Qianqian Li; Principal Viola Cynthia Phelps (The Mr. and Mrs. Frederick P. Rose Chair); and Principal Cello Carter Brey (The Fan Fox and Leslie R. Samuels Chair). The group was formed in January 2017, during the Philharmonic’s 175th anniversary season; the New York Philharmonic String Quartet made its debut as the solo ensemble in John Adams’ Absolute Jest in New York in March 2017, and reprised the work on the Orchestra’s EUROPE / SPRING 2017 tour. All four members are multiple prize winners, have appeared as concerto soloists with the Philharmonic and orchestras around the world, and have appeared frequently in the Philharmonic’s chamber music series at David Geffen Hall and Merkin Concert Hall.

Frank Huang has performed at the Marlboro Music Festival, Ravinia’s Steans Institute, Seattle Chamber Music Festival, and Caramoor. He frequently participates in Musicians from Marlboro’s tours, and was selected by The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center to be a member of the prestigious Bowers Program (formerly CMS Two).

Before joining the Houston Symphony as Concertmaster in 2010, Frank Huang held the position of First Violinist of the Grammy Award– winning Ying Quartet.

Qianqian Li has performed at major music festivals including Aspen, Tanglewood, Yellow Barn, and Sarasota. As a soloist, she has performed with orchestras in major concert halls in Asia, the United States, the United Kingdom, and South Africa. Before joining the New York Philharmonic, she served as a member of the first violin section of The Metropolitan Opera Orchestra for three years, after winning positions with the orchestras of Seattle, Atlanta, and St. Paul in the same period. She has also performed in the Boston, Pittsburgh, and Atlanta symphony orchestras and The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra.

Cynthia Phelps performs with The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, Jupiter Chamber Players, and the Santa Fe, La Jolla, Seattle, Chamber Music Northwest, and Bridgehampton festivals. She has appeared with the Guarneri, Tokyo, Orion, American, Brentano, and Prague Quartets, and the Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson Trio. She is also a founding member of the chamber group Les Amies, a fluteharp-viola group with Philharmonic Principal Harp Nancy Allen and flutist Carol Wincenc.

Carter Brey has made regular appearances with the Tokyo and Emerson string quartets as well as The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center and at festivals such as Spoleto (both in the United States and Italy), and the Santa Fe and La Jolla Chamber Music festivals. He and pianist Christopher O’Riley recorded Le Grand Tango: Music of Latin America, a disc of compositions from South America and Mexico released on Helicon Records.

Program Notes W. A. Mozart (1756-1791) String Quartet No. 19 in C major, K. 465 (“Dissonance”) When Mozart moved to Vienna in 1781, he quickly struck up a friendship with his mentor and teacher, Joseph Haydn. The two frequently performed string quartets together in relaxed, domestic settings, exploring the genre that Haydn had brought to prominence in the prior decades. In recognition of his influence, Mozart dedicated a set of string quartets to Haydn in 1785.

Upon hearing an early performance of the quartets, Haydn, an observer rather than a player on this occasion, made the following now-famous comment to Leopold Mozart, Wolfgang’s father who was visiting from Salzburg: “Before God, and as an honest man, I tell you that your son is the greatest composer known to me either in person or by name.”

Tonight’s composition is the sixth and most famous of this set. Throughout the work there are references to Haydn’s monumental influence on the genre, albeit with a heavy dose of Mozart’s personal style. The first element that may have been inspired by Haydn is the tense and discordant opening of the first movement, which is also the origin of the “dissonant” nickname.

Following the introduction, the first violin offers a Haydn-esque short and cheerful melody. The rest of the movement proceeds as a characteristic sonata, with its contrasting themes, troubled development section, and resounding recapitulation.

The second movement displays some of Mozart’s most tender-hearted chorale writing. All four voices participate in an exchange of lyrical passages while maintaining a minuet-like feel. The third movement sounds like a nod to the humor found in many of Haydn’s quartets. Sharp contrasts in volume, unison passages, sprightly articulations, and sudden changes in mood capture the essence of Haydn’s wittiness.

The stunning fourth movement displays Mozart’s gift of merging the comic with the tragic. Two years before the premiere of Don Giovanni, a particularly dramatic opera buffa, Mozart experimented with themes that veer into unexpected harmonic modulations and drastic changes of mood.

The movement never settles into one emotion for long, and the bursts of virtuosity force the performers and audience to stay alert.

Program Notes Joel Thompson (b. 1988) In Response to the Madness I only made one rule for myself: each time before sitting down to compose this piece, I had to ingest all the major news stories of the day. The result of this experiment in compositional process is a stream-of-consciousness response to the political mayhem, the massacres, the climate, and our seemingly futile attempts at trying to make things better. It is essentially a scream into the void - or perhaps into the mirror. What does this music do for all the chaos in the world? This craft to which I’ve dedicated my life cannot directly cool the planet, save lives, or reinstate civility and understanding into our government and society. The piece is merely a response to the madness - one to which I hope listeners can relate - but I also hope it gives voice to our current angst and perhaps inspires us to change our tune.

With love, Joel Thompson March 2019

Franz Schubert (1797-1828) String Quartet No. 14 in D minor, D. 810 (“Death and the Maiden”) Schubert was famous as a composer of lieder (German art songs) in Vienna and beyond, but much to his dismay he never found success as an opera composer. After his Fierrabras flopped in 1823, he experienced a personal crisis, writing: Think of a man whose health can never be restored, and who from sheer despair makes matters worse instead of better. Think, I say, of a man whose brightest hopes have come to nothing, to whom love and friendship are but torture, and whose enthusiasm for the beautiful is fast vanishing; and ask yourself if such a man is not truly unhappy.

Program Notes Perhaps led by his depressed mood, Schubert turned to the string quartet to express his inner turmoil. Like Beethoven, he found the quartet the perfect medium for exploring dramatic, chaotic and darker moods. Schubert never lost his penchant for tuneful melodies, honed as a writer of vocal music, and here he merged his lyricism with contrapuntal intensity and rich harmonic tapestries.

Tonight’s work is centered around the theme of death. The name of the quartet and the theme of the second movement come from Schubert’s lied Der Tod und das Mädchen (Death and the Maiden) from 1817. The poem

by Matthias Claudius explores terror and eventual comfort from death: The Maiden: Oh! leave me! Prithee, leave me! thou grisly man of bone!

For life is sweet, is pleasant.

Go! leave me now alone!

Go! leave me now alone!

Death: Give me thy hand, oh! maiden fair to see, For I’m a friend, hath ne’er distress’d thee.

Take courage now, and very soon Within mine arms shalt softly rest thee!

Four movements revolve around the theme of death, linked with musical devices such as driving triplets, minor keys, subdued climaxes, and dramatic shifts in dynamics. The first movement features violent swings in mood accented by bold unison passages. Emotional tension rises and falls, perhaps expressing the maiden’s terror and Death’s responses. The second movement is a theme and variations based on the lied. Each variation maintains the same funeral-like march feel, but the emotional expression varies from morose to relaxed. The third movement sounds like a demonic dance, highlighted by quick changes in dynamics and a macabre dance.

The finale is also dance-like. Energetic triplets and a blazing tempo are used in this tarantella, a dance that was traditionally a treatment for madness resulting from a tarantula bite.
